QuickView for Muc4 (gene)


Gene Symbol:
MUC4 Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
mucin 4, cell surface associated
Synonyms:
ASGP, HSA276359, MUC-4, mucin-4, ascites sialoglycoprotein, mucin 4, tracheobronchial, pancreatic adenocarcinoma mucin, testis mucin, tracheobronchial mucin
Genomic Location:
Chr 3: 196959307-197023545
Description:
The major constituents of mucus, the viscous secretion that covers epithelial surfaces such as those in the trachea, colon, and cervix, are highly glycosylated proteins called mucins. These glycoproteins play important roles in the protection of the epithelial cells and have been implicated in epithelial renewal and differentiation. This gene encod...
